In the study of the Royal Palace, Chiboa.
Closing the file in hand, the King kept it aside as he stood up to look at the butler with his hands dauntingly folded behind. His face was stiff and cold, nothing similar to expressions he held when his wife Chen Rui was around.
"What information did you get from your investigation?" He asked all plainly. His eyes not showing interest but at the same time his tone not evidencing any disinterest too. It was hard to read his thoughts, the same as it was hard to see light through opaque objects.
The aged butler knew that some impossibility was just created so that people don\'t try to make it possible. One of that impossibility was reading His Majesty\'s mysteriousness.
"Your Majesty, as you have ordered, I have set some of our extremely trusted men to investigate the authenticity of the details behind Ms Li Xue\'s birth. But everything regarding her birth seemed suspicious to hear. Though nothing came visible on the surface, seeing the things one can easily tell that there have been some underhanded tricks used in concealing her real birth secrets in that year".
Shin Tinming\'s brows furrowed and the royal butler instantly understood the cue behind it. Taking out a file, he kept it on the table with both of his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Firstly, Ms Lui Hua\'s marriage itself is the biggest suspicion in the story. She had gotten married to Mr Li Sheng just 6 months before Ms Li Xue\'s birth. The wedding was kept very close and simple, almost no one was invited except a few friends."
"Second source of suspicion is her regular check-ups during pregnancy. The attending doctor that has been keeping a check on her health in the starting months of pregnancy was never sought in the later months. The doctor said that Ms Lui Hua has informed her that she would be going to give birth to her baby away from the city in the north". The butler added and was about to continue but paused when saw the king\'s lips moving.
"Away from the city? Wasn\'t the Jingling City of Chiboa, the best for medical facilities?" He asked, getting intrigued at the unusualness. As far as he has known, the mothers had always preferred to give birth at the places where they can easily access the best medical treatment, then what made that woman go to the other city? "Which city did she go to?" he added one more question. His brows were stiffly jutted together with some thought.
"Yes, Your Majesty. With your orders, we have always kept the medical services here in Chiboa to be top-notch and in recent years we have also tried to bring those services of the various other cities". Mr Cao replied and then added on, "Her attending doctor has said that at that time she had been informed that Ms Lui Hua wanted to give birth to her baby in Juan Lake city in the care of her in-laws when in actuality there had been none of her in-laws residing in that city. Mr Li Sheng has been kicked out from his family long ago so the woman never had any in-laws".
The butler informed as the Shin Tinming felt his heart clench with a fear of something. "Mr Cao, did you check with the hospital? Did they have any information about that girl\'s birth?"
The old royal butler just shook his head in denial as he said, "It was not any hospital, Your Majesty, rather was just a small nursing home. And they have never maintained any major records or details. So, we did not get any details of the birth but the dates of the lady\'s birth".
The man turned around, his broad back now facing the butler. "How exact is it?" He asked in a cold voice but the old man could clearly visualize the guilt and regret in his expressions.
Though he knew that this fact could shatter the royal family in an instant, being a loyal butler, it was his duty to inform the things as he has come to know. "Your Majesty, with calculation, that night seems to be matching with the birth date of the lady! She might be your dau …" Mr Cao said but was instantly silenced with a roar.
"That\'s enough. Mr Cao you can go now. Investigate properly before confirming the things with any surety". Shin Tinming said, his fingers clenched tight as his voice tried its best to not shatter and tremble at the end.

On the other end, Li Xue just completed explaining things to Feng Yi Lan and then shared a few words with her princess. As she disconnected the call, a smile covered her lips. Her senses felt someone\'s gaze at herself. Lifting her eyes, she found it was the nurse staring at her for quite a good moment of time now.
"Ma\'am, you look so beautiful with a smile. Do you really have a daughter?" suddenly she heard the nurse ask.
Not knowing her exact meaning behind asking such a question, Li Xue nodded in acceptance. "Yes, I have a 5 years old daughter". Saying that she kept her phone aside and then went back to lie with the support of the pillow. She was not feeling exhausted but was getting kind of bored, especially given the knowledge where she already knows that she has made Mr Beelzebub upset.
"Ma\'am you are really lucky then I must say. Your husband really loves you a lot. Even giving a daughter to him, he pampers you so much" The nurse said with a smile of self – hope.
Hearing her words, Li Xue raised her brows to which the nurse quickly added, "No, no, Ma\'am please don\'t take me wrong. I didn\'t mean it that way. I am not doing any gender discrimination but just thinking about it as practically as it goes in the countries. Aren\'t men as successful as your husband always seeking boys as kids, so that in the future they would be a help to family legacy? And seeing him pamper you the way he did all the time you were unconscious; I must say he loves you to the extent which can never be defined. You know we all were swooning at …"
The nurse instantly bit her tongue when realized what wrong she had sprouted out.
Seeing her like that, Li Xue could not control her laughter. Laughing out loud, she said, "Haha … it\'s fine. I know women often check the men around. It will be fine until it is just a healthy check out not initiating something severe".
"I am sorry, ma\'am. We were just …" The nurse still felt embarrassed. She started her words but was interrupted when she heard the phone rang at the side.
Turning slightly to the side, she took her phone back in her hand only to find the little brat called her. She has come to know that in just one night he has troubled half of the city.
Receiving the call, she was about to say her words but the person on the other side did not let her. "Xena! Where have you been? Do you know you are already trending on all news channels here?"
Li Xue\'s eyes went bigger at his words. Trending on all news channels! What did this boy actually do there?
